It's been raining in Corvallis ...



After seeing the photo of my golf course (Trysting Tree) accompanying this article ... http://www.gazettetimes.com/articles/2006/01/20/news/community/fri03.txt ... my brother-in-law thought it'd be funny to see a picture of me tee'ing off one of the island tee boxes. By the time I got out there, the water level had gone down a bit ... but you get the idea :-). This is the 6th tee ... and I *REALLY* nutted this drive ... actually flew the water ... was a bit disappointing, to be honest :-) The river's been @ or near "bank full" (16') for about a month now ... and another newspaper article said the golf course couldn't even consider reopening until the level gets down below 12' ... which isn't being forecast for yet another week ... http://ahps2.wrh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=pqr&gage=coro3&view=1,1,1,1,1,1 ... blub, blub!
